Facilities & Geographical Overview

The Power Infrastructure Division is a leading manufacturer of electrical cable and transmission equipment in East, Central and Southern Africa, with a broad customer base that includes retail outlets, large & small electrical contractors, large projects and utilities.

Africa presents an exciting growth market, given:

	Signficant market potential given the historical low levels of access to electricity , with most Sub-Saharan countries reporting access of less than 20% of the population and per capita consumption of less than 200 kWh, compared to European Union's 3,500 kWh or even South Africa's 4,146.5 kWh
	Growth of urban areas (organically and through rural-urban migration) increasing demand for connection to power, where the grids were concentracted historically
	Focus by the utilities, governments and development finance institutions, across the region , to provide rural communities with access to electricity
	General positive economic growth is providing for expenditure on electrical installation, by consumers, industry and governments
